I used gcc to compile a few fortran source files into *.lib and *.dll on Windows platform, using the latest version of mingw . The gcc used is version 3. The result of the output is arpack_win32.dll, blas_win32.dll and lapack_win32.dll.
I then want to compile sssimp.f against the arpack_win32.dll, blas_win32.dll and lapack_win32.dll using Intel visual fortran compiler for Windows, because sssimp.f uses those dlls. But I got the impression ( from Intel support forum) that this is not possible.
Is my impression correct? Or is it that as long as I can produce the underlying libs and dlls ( no matter in which compiler and how old it is), I can use them as my base libs and dlls, and I can link to them from any, modern or old, compiler?
g77 uses a different ABI than IVF, yes. So unless IVF has some g77/f2c compatibility option it’s not going to work.
The easiest solution for you is probably to use IVF to compile the libraries too.
